Title: AutoCAD 2017 SP1 warning
Post by: rkmcswain on July 25, 2016, 08:37:03 AM: Jimmy Bergmark (https://twitter.com/jtbworld) from JTB World (http://jtbworld.com), has reported that the just released SP1 for AutoCAD 2017 breaks the functionality of the "plug-in auto loader mechanism". Please make note of this before installing SP1, which is currently only available via the Autodesk Desktop App. References below:

Ref 2: AutoCAD 2017 Service Pack 1 is out but you probably don’t want to install it (http://www.blog.cadnauseam.com/2016/07/25/autocad-2017-service-pack-1-is-out-but-you-probably-dont-want-to-install-it)

Interesting. I wonder if there are some other circumstances at play here?

Post by: huiz on July 26, 2016, 09:16:22 AM: Ok, a few more tests.

Another computer, just installed SP1 and only 1 of 8 plugins got loaded.
In Civil 3D the plugins get loaded but not in AutoCAD.

As far as I understand the plugins are not loaded if the PackageContents.xml contains this

SeriesMin="R21.0" SeriesMax="R21.0"

If you remove this, the plugin will load but that is not a solution of course. I'll log this bug.

I was wondering the same thing .. seems odd that you could not get it HERE (https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/autocad/downloads).

That was second for me.
First was my ADN Subscription interface.

No joy on either .... hence the query

Post by: rkmcswain on July 26, 2016, 10:29:47 AM: It seems like they are releasing updates, SP, etc. on the app first, then later on the support site. Probably to entice users to start using the app.

Sorry for any confusion, has to do with debugging Apps:

Post by: Jeff_M on July 26, 2016, 09:06:54 PM: Yes, E & C now works. And I have found, too, that the bundles I have still load fine with C3D2017.

Post by: jtbworld on July 28, 2016, 02:06:58 AM: I've got a hotfix prereleased from Autodesk: AutoCAD 2017 App Autoloader Hotfix (http://blog.jtbworld.com/2016/07/autocad-2017-app-autoloader-hotfix.html)

Not sure how you got Autodesk to distribute this to you before posting on their own site, their new Desktop [Cr]App, etc, but thank you nonetheless! :beer:
